WATCH IT: 7L & Esoteric "Retrospects" (McFarland & Pecci, dir.)

By Steven Gottlieb on November 8, 2010 @ 3:52pm PST | Comments (0)

To every rap fan who dreams of living the gangster life: It's probably much more like what you see in this gritty, violent and insane 7L & Esoteric video than the flossy depiction usually found in music videos.  It's a similar vibe to photographer Ross McDonnell's Joyrider series —  which apparently inspired the visuals here — but with a twist that has the Boston rapper Esoteric abducted by a Russian crew that's not afraid to get as depraved as they wanna be.  --> watch "Retrospects"
